Ted Ashby Heritage Sailing

Ted Ashby is a ketch-rigged deck scow, typical of the fleet of scows that once operated in northern New Zealand waters. You can climb aboard for a one hour experience with her knowledgeable crew. It's a good idea to pre-book your ticket, although remaining spaces will be available for purchase from the Museum shop on the day.

Built by Museum staff and volunteers in the traditional manner, she was launched in August 1993.

Heritage sailing times and days

11.30am and 1.30pm - Tuesday - Sunday

We supply life jackets for children from 10kg up to the age of 14 years. Children under 10kg cannot join a Ted Ashby sailing.

Please note: Raising of the sails during a trip may not be possible due to operational parameters and is subject to the discretion of New Zealand Maritime Museum management and the sailing master.

If a sailing is cancelled by the museum, no cancellation fee is charged and we will endeavour to give as much notice as possible. Where possible your booking will be transferred to a similar sailing or your money refunded in full. This applies to both advance and on-the-day bookings.
